Harestone Valley and Woldingham Design Guidance

Woldingham village and the Harestone Valley area of Caterham have unique and very special characters that are a result of the way they were originally developed but also because local planning policies have, over the years, ensured that the special character has been protected. The Council has adopted Design Guidance as Supplementary Planning Documents (SPD) to ensure that new development does not harm the character of those areas.

Developers and home owners are encouraged to use them to ensure what they propose is in character with the two areas and the Council will use them to assess planning applications.
